The team at the helm of this impressive treasure trove in rural Lincolnshire paint a picture of the history and charm behind their business

Hemswell Antiques

Tell us the story behind Hemswell Antiques.

The journey began with the vision of the late Rex and Nepi Miller; a like-minded duo who saw potential that others may have overlooked. The business opened its doors for the first time on the 24th May 1986, with two buildings of a former RAF airfield housing just 150 dealers. That was only the beginning, though, and by 2005, a third building was added, with the iconic Guardroom following in 2014. Today, Rex and Nepi's legacy lives on through their son, Robert, who took the reins in 1999.
